Well I couldn't help it. I was slated to make it an all day affair Sunday, but I went to just the expo when it opened up at 12. This was, to me, the bass bait mecca! I seen a bunch of pros. I talked to some. I made some purchases. I have to say one person stood out to me. A total class act. As I walked up to the Strike King booth, which wasn't gaudy or big, I noticed a lot of jerseys. I started browsing the Rage stuff they had. I was looking for the Eeliminator. I asked one of the guys if they had some. He obliged and we walked around the display to where the few they had were located. There was a guy there that looked vaguely familiar to me. He asked what we were looking for and I told him. He pointed out the few packs they had and asked what colors I liked. BANG! Then it dawned on me. I said you must be Big O. He said yes sir. I introduced myself and told him how I knew of him from on this site. I received some tips without asking and a couple of stories to go with the tips. All in all he spent about 5 to 10 minutes of his time, then handed me the pack. I asked where I needed to pay and he told me they are yours. I seriously felt like I had won the lottery. It totally made going today worth the special trip down to the Expo.
Also a special thanks for RW for suggesting these baits and what to do with them on another thread to another member on here. I just picked up on it and went with it. Here fishy fishy!
